Sophia’s mom found me on google after a miscommunication with another photographer that ended in a disappointing no-show. Such a situation is no fun, but I am sooo glad she found me and that we had the opportunity to capture Sophia’s NCS Senior pictures on a beautiful and sunny afternoon in DC. As serendipity would […]

When you visit Washington, DC, of course you bring twenty of your favorite relatives and meet for an extended family session at 5:45 am at the Lincoln Memorial. Right? – Right. I am so in awe of this family. Wheng, her husband and their four beautiful children had visited DC this past April when I […]

I clearly hit the jackpot this year with all my stunning seniors. Check out this early morning May session at the Lincoln Memorial and Constitution Gardens with Kylie, all around star athlete and gorgeous McLean High School graduate, class of 2021. Godspeed to her for her next chapter in Salt Lake City. Keep shining, Kylie.

I don’t remember how often we had to reschedule this shoot. Delays with the arrival of cap & gown, funky weather, sickness … but boy, the wait was so worth it. When we finally met at Emily’s alma mater, Marymount University, a thick cloud cover had turned the sky into a humongous soft box, providing […]

This session is such a great example for how a simple, clean backdrop can render elegant and timeless images. No need for dramatic land- or cityscapes or elaborate clothing, as long as the lighting priorities are fulfilled. Courtney rocked her session celebrating her graduation from HB Woodlawn in Arlington this summer, and I just love […]

I have rarely witnessed so much poise and maturity in a young girl who hadn’t even turned 13 when I took these photos of her. If her parents had told me she was a High School Senior, I wouldn’t have thought twice. Seriously, I still demand to see her birth certificate. So much love in […]

It’s hard to believe looking at these images, but trust me when I tell you that it was downright cold and windy on this early May morning in Georgetown. What a trooper this newly minted McLean High School graduate was to tough out the bitter breeze in her cute little dresses and sandals when she […]

I was so excited when these new parents reached out to me about an in-home session to document life with their newborn son, and even more excited when I learned that a fur baby is part of the family as well. That meant that cuteness overload was going to be guaranteed, and they did not […]

Check out this beautiful McLean High School Senior. We met on a weekday morning in Georgetown earlier this month only to discover that her dress perfectly coordinated with the pastel houses right by our meeting spot. It was kind of difficult to tear ourselves away from such a creative serendipity – who wouldn’t want to […]

Some clients just seem to effortlessly *SLAY* their photo sessions. I met Avery several years ago when her mom drummed up the whole family of six for a fall photo session. Even back then she was the rare middle schooler who wasn’t just not awkward but outright confident in front of the lens. So it […]
